IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS
Read all safety warnings and all instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save
all warnings and instructions for future reference.
Electrical Safety
1. Do not expose tool to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
Battery tool use and care
1. Recharge only with the charger specified by
the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable
for one type of battery pack may create a risk
of fire when used with another battery pack.
2. Use tool only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery
packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
3. When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects, like paper clips,
coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal
objects, that can make a connection from
one terminal to another. Shorting the battery
terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
4. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact.
If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water.
If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
Additional Safety Warnings
1. The battery Charger gets hot during use.
The Charger’s heat can build up to
unsafe levels and create a fire hazard if
it does not receive adequate ventilation,
due to an electrical fault, or if it is used in a hot
environment. Do not place the Charger on a
flammable surface. Do not obstruct any vents on
the Charger. Especially avoid placing the
Charger on carpets and rugs; they are not only
flammable, but they also obstruct vents under
the Charger.
Place the Charger on a stable, solid, nonflammable
surface (such as a stable metal workbench or
concrete floor) at least 1 foot away from all
flammable objects, such as drapes or walls. Keep a
fire extinguisher and a smoke detector in the area.
Frequently monitor the Charger and
Battery Pack while charging.
2. This product is not a toy.
Keep it out of reach of children.
3. Maintain labels and nameplates on the tool.
These carry important safety information.
If unreadable or missing, contact
Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.
4. The warnings, precautions, and instructions
discussed in this instruction manual cannot
cover all possible conditions and situations
that may occur. It must be understood by the

factors which cannot be built into this product,
but must be supplied by the operator.
